Government compliance requires integrated security throughout the network
The Federal Information Security Act of 2002 (FISMA), developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in 2002, requires all federal agencies and their partners to establish, consistent, risk-based security processes. FISMA calls for each federal agency to “develop, document, and implement an agency-wide information security program to provide information security for the information and information systems that support the operations and assets of the agency, including those provided or managed by another agency, contractor, or another source.”

Because every agency relies heavily on email to support operations and assets, agencies must address email security throughout their message network – not just at the network perimeter - in order to comply with FISMA.To protect information assets traveling in email, and to protect database servers and other IT assets from malware threats (viruses, worms, and Trojans) introduced by email, agencies need comprehensive email security throughout their message network, including authentication, encryption, spam-filtering, and virus-filtering.

Mirapoint’s Secure Messaging Infrastructure™ provides an integrated defense
Mirapoint, the leading secure messaging provider, offers messaging solutions that provide government agencies a secure, scalable messaging infrastructure to meet the challenges of regulatory compliance.

Mirapoint also provides policy-based controls for blocking, redirecting and archiving messages, based on regulatory requirements and internal guidelines.

Mirapoint messaging appliances are the building blocks of an “always on” messaging infrastructure that addresses security throughout the fabric of the network, not just at the network perimeter. A Mirapoint appliance-based infrastructure can easily scale to meet the growing needs of even the largest government agency while maintaining the lowest TCO in the messaging industry and providing a platform for the provisioning of new services.
